this game is quite good. it has a ton of secret areas about one in every f3 rooms or hallways such as you could walk by a mirror and use allohomora (unlocking spell on it and it would open up to reveal beans or a wizard card. you dont see very much of ginny weasley at all in the game, pretty much only in the chamber of secrets. moaning myrtles hallway is quite an impressive sight with the bloody wall looming out of nowhere from off the stairs. i also hated the fact that there was one section of stair that acted like an escalator and took you to the top of the room....like it would kill them to finish the stairs.the wiggenweld potion is very usefull, and i like how every 10 wizard cards you get you get another health bar. hermione looks terrible. they didnt texture her bangs at all overall 4 stars because it is too easy
OMG! SOO FUN!!

I love this game!!!!!!!! I like almost everything about it. It's really satisfying to finally finish it. Hard in some spots but not too hard. (I live in mortal fear of imps) I sorta got sick of the Bertie Bott's bean traders saying "I have a Silver Wizard Card, never even shuffled before!" (just wish you could skip that part) And sometimes I saw graphic mistakes like a bean gets stuck in a wall. But who cares about stupid stuff like that. It's a small price to play for this excellent computer game. However, THEY DIDN'T SHOW DOBBY GETTING FREED!!!!!!!!!! Whoops. Anyway, I highly recommend this game! Get it NOW! I command you to buy it!!!! :D
Computer Crashing Problems With This Game

I attempted to play this on my home PC:
Operating System Microsoft Windows 2000 Professional
CPU Type AMD Athlon XP, 1533 MHz (11.5 x 133) 1800+
Video Card NVIDIA GeForce4 Ti 4400 (128 MB)
Sound Card Creative SB PCI128 (Ensoniq ES5880) Sound Card
I am unsure what the problem was, but the game reconfigured my video card settings and crashed my PC. [The screen pixelated and I couldn't get my PC to boot except in debugging mode and even that was only for a short time. I eventually reconfigured the settings by going into the Start menu --> Run --> cmd --> chkdsk and promptly uninstalled the game. PC works fine now.]
I was able to play this game on my husband's laptop, a notibly slower computer with a less-advanced video card (same OS) and it played okay.
The game itself is really fun. Just be careful because you may have the same problem I did. I almost lost my entire computer because of this game and I wouldn't want anyone else to have the same thing happen to them.
So Much Fun!

This game is pretty good, but it pales in comparison to the first game. In the first game, the music had a definate magical twist, but the music in this game just sounds like a normal platform game. Madam Pomfrey's room is a specific example of this. When the music is reused, however, it sounds great.
There are some improvements in this game, like the fact that the characters' mouths move, and that the spells now chase down hte object it's being cast upon. Even so, it wasn't really fun to play like the first game, when something new was added to make it harder, like sneaking past Filch, or having to catch the flying key like a Snitch. but the second game doesn't do anything like that. It just adds spiders or Fire Crabs to make that part harder. Even the baskilisk was ridiculously easy to beat. Even the cheat codes aren't fun anymore; on the first game, my sister and I had hours of fun playing with a Super Jump code, but there isn't any such thing here.
Harry Potter II is an okay game, and I would definetely recommend it to play, but compared to it's prequel, it just doesn't work.
geting better

The game comes with a list of supported video cards printed on the box. When I found out my card was not supported, the manufacturer asked me to send them my opened copy of the game so they could send me a new shrink wrapped copy to send to Amazon in order to get a refund!
WORSE GAME EVER!!!!!

Im going to be honest this was a good game, however I have a big fear of spiders and playing this game I knew had aragog in it but I didnt know he jumped out to the screen and I hyervenalted and fainted because of that. Also during the game there is little spiders and such near you, I would advise you to not play this game if afraid of spiders or snakes. It was a good game though. If your not afraid of spiders or snakes go for it!
COOL DETAIL! WONDERFUL PLOT!

Don't buy this game for PC. First of all the graphics are so bad you would think you play some 90's 3D game.If you have PS2, then buy it for PS2. The game really much better made, in terms of graphics and storyline. Well the only people who can really enjoy it is 12 and under year old kids.
